How Much More Will You Pay For Great Centering?

Don't think I've owned a more centered card.

Personally I agree centering makes or breaks the eye appeal. I tend to look at it from a different perspective, though it may be difficult to articulate. Centering is a factory defect. There is no way to change this once it is cut and packaged, Much like registration. Surface , edges and corners however may or may not endure nicely the test of time. To me having a 100 year old card with tight corners, strong colors and no creasing is where it's at. Also I would opine, myself included, many folks pay a premium for centered say in a "5" holder. Im okay doing this. But I will never pay a "7" or "8" price for a "5". Just my $.02.

Card Collector thoughts only, not a professional card guy by any means.

Yeah, so you got to me on that one and thanks for the sale
I guess it's debatable which is nicer.

Man, that E90-1 Young has incredibly wide borders on both sides. Compare them to the miscut Thomas card below that shows the border width between 2 cards. It looks like Cy got more than 2/3 share of the border space on each side. Off-center cards do have their uses...
